Rotational Grazing, Silvopasture and Farming with Native Ecosystems

Cedar Creek Farm, Somerset, KY -- September 16, 2025, 1 - 4 pm ET

Cedar Creek Farm is a diversified family farm that raises 100% grass-fed beef on 100 acres in the rolling hills of Pulaski County. Micah Wiles and his family believe in farming within natural systems and have integrated rotational grazing, silvopasture, warm- and cool-season forage, hedgerows and native plantings to support the creeks, springs, soils, biodiversity, livestock and people connected to their land.

 

Join this OAK Field Day to tour their orchards, native and improved pastures and riparian buffer. Explore the gravity-fed natural and installed livestock watering systems, including in-field water tanks and quick-connect buried lines. Learn how Micah’s simple, electric fencing allows ease of movement between paddocks for healthy rotations. Visit Cedar Creek Farm's 20-year-old native grass pasture managed by prescribed burning and intentional grazing. Master Grazier Greg Brann will join the Field Day to offer pasture and forage insights for soil, livestock and nutrient management.

This event is supported by a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). OAK's Farmer Education program is supported by the Kentucky Agricultural Development Fund (KADF). Registration fees are waived for this event; registration is required.
